Abstract
A healthy and well-functioning gut is essential for a good piglet performance. Since 70-80% of the immune cells are located in the gut, a healthy gut, means a healthy piglet (Furness et al., 1999). Supporting the intestinal health of the piglet during stressful periods such as weaning, is of great importance when it comes down to preventing diarrhoea.
